Want a straighter smile without traditional metal braces? Advanced Smiles PC offers Invisalign and clear aligner consultations in Croydon, PA for patients who want a discreet, removable, and modern way to improve tooth alignment.
Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move teeth over time. Many adults and teens choose clear aligners because they are less noticeable than braces and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Our Croydon dental office serves patients from Croydon, Bristol, Levittown, Bensalem Township, Newportville, Hulmeville, and nearby Lower Bucks County communities.
Call 215-788-4918 to schedule your Invisalign consultation.
Quick Answer: What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made removable trays to gradually straighten teeth. It may help with crowded teeth, gaps, mild to moderate bite concerns, and cosmetic alignment issues depending on the patient’s case.
A consultation is needed to confirm whether Invisalign or another orthodontic option is right for you.
Why Patients Choose Invisalign Clear Aligners
Many patients want straighter teeth but do not want the appearance or lifestyle restrictions of traditional braces.
Invisalign clear aligners may offer:
- Clear, discreet appearance
- Removable trays
- Easier brushing and flossing compared with braces
- No metal brackets or wires
- Comfortable fit for many patients
- Digital treatment planning
- Option for adults and teens
- Flexible treatment for work, school, events, and photos
What Can Invisalign Help Correct?
Invisalign may help with:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild spacing issues
- Mild to moderate overbite concerns
- Mild to moderate underbite concerns
- Crossbite concerns in selected cases
- Open bite concerns in selected cases
- Teeth that shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
- Smile alignment before cosmetic treatment
Not every case can be treated with clear aligners. Severe bite problems, major tooth rotation, or complex orthodontic needs may require referral or other treatment options.
Invisalign for Adults
Many adults want straighter teeth but do not want braces to affect their professional or social life. Invisalign can be a practical option for adults who want a more discreet way to improve their smile.
Adults may consider Invisalign if they:
- Had braces years ago and teeth shifted
- Have crowding or spacing
- Want a more confident smile at work
- Want alignment before whitening or veneers
- Prefer removable aligners
- Want easier oral hygiene than braces
Invisalign for Teens
Clear aligners may also be an option for responsible teens who can wear the aligners as instructed. Since aligners are removable, compliance is important. If aligners are not worn enough hours each day, treatment may take longer or not work as planned.

How Invisalign Treatment Works
1. Invisalign Consultation
Your dentist evaluates your teeth, bite, gums, oral health, and smile goals.
2. Digital Records and Treatment Planning
Digital impressions, scans, or X-rays may be used to plan your aligner treatment.
3. Custom Aligners
If you are a candidate, custom aligners are created for your smile.
4. Wearing Your Aligners
You wear each set of aligners as instructed. Aligners should usually be worn most of the day and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
5. Progress Checks
Your dentist monitors your progress and provides new aligners as your teeth move.
6. Retainers
After treatment, retainers are usually needed to help keep your teeth in their new position.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Invisalign treatment time depends on the complexity of the case. Minor alignment may take less time, while more involved crowding, spacing, or bite correction may take longer.
Your timeline depends on:
- Amount of tooth movement needed
- Bite condition
- Crowding or spacing severity
- Patient age
- Daily aligner wear time
- Missed appointments
- Whether refinements are needed
A consultation provides the best estimate.

Invisalign Before Cosmetic Dentistry

This is why smile makeover planning may include both alignment and cosmetic treatment.
